Islam as a perfect religion does not only regulate outward aspects through Sharia, but also nurtures the inner spiritual dimension through Sufism. Sufism is a spiritual teaching in Islam that aims to purify the soul, control human desires, and cultivate noble character through a profound closeness to Allah SWT. This study aims to analyze the role of Sufism in the formation of morality, focusing on three main practices: tazkiyah an-nafs (purification of the soul), dhikr (remembrance of Allah), and muhasabah (self-reflection). The method used is a literature study by examining various classical and contemporary sources on Sufism. The results of the study show that tazkiyah an-nafs functions as a process of soul purification through the stages of takhalli (emptying oneself of bad traits) and tahalli (adorning oneself with good qualities), dhikr serves to maintain the spiritual relationship between humans and Allah while bringing peace to the soul, and muhasabah encourages individuals to continuously engage in self-introspection. These three practices work synergistically to shape a Muslim personality that is noble, balanced both outwardly and inwardly, and capable of facing the challenges of modern life. Therefore, Sufism remains relevant as a spiritual solution in overcoming moral crises and the degradation of morality in the modern era.
